Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 54

Brighton & Hove Albion wins: 20

Draws: 15

Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United have faced each other a total of 54 times across all competitions, with the Seagulls marginally leading the overall head-to-head record having posted 20 wins to the Whites' 19, while 15 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

September 1960 was the very first time that these two clubs butted heads in the old Division Two, with the Seagulls winning 2-1 on home soil. However, Leeds responded by putting together a six-match unbeaten run across Divisions One and Two.

Both Brighton and Leeds had their fair share of successes during their regular battles in Divisions One and Two over the years up until their first meeting as Championship clubs in 2004, when an own goal from Clarke Carlisle condemned the Whites to a narrow 1-0 loss away against the Seagulls.

Brighton boast an impressive overall record against Leeds in the Championship, as they have won 10 and drawn four of their 16 meetings with the Whites (L2). The Seagulls’ 4-0 home win in February 2016 represents the biggest victory for either side in this fixture.

Brighton and Leeds also faced each other six times in League One between 2007 and 2010, and it was the Whites who got the better of the Seagulls as they collected 14 points from a possible 18 available (W4 D2 L0).

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United have faced each other just nine times. The Whites needed eight attempts to claim their first top-flight win over the Seagulls, drawing three and losing four of the first seven meetings before a 1-0 triumph on May 17, 2026.

Leeds appeared to be on course for a first Premier League victory at the AMEX Stadium on September 5, 2026, when Jayden Bogle gave them the lead. However, Luka Vuskovic equalised 19 minutes from time to earn Brighton a 1-1 draw.
